Wow.  I can't imagine what it would be like to live on such a widely varied and random income.  (Aside from the fact that I'm occasionally unemployed for several months at a time.)

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

if you recycle the paper, the few pennies you earn that way might be JUST enough to buy THAT ONE coffee that is needed to raise your programming ability to JUST THAT level needed to finish this version in about 3 and a half hours

you must try that toady

Not all locations offer money for recycling.

So I think he would lose more money mailing it.

actually silleah, id do something similar, but id do it to the least produced/used note of hatever country, if a 50 billion note exists, then it must be used at least occasionally... unless its 50 billion dollars, in small notes.

Wait, so was Toady One just making an April Fools joke referencing Zimbabwe's hilarious inflation troubles, or was someone really awesome enough to mail him a bunch of expired bank notes?  I believe that this requires clarification and, if possible, pics.

Pictures will have to wait until I get a camera over here, but yeah, somebody really sent me ten 5 billion dollar "special agro-cheques".  They have giraffes.  The box also had something that looks like a hello kitty purse, batteries, playing cards, an ethernet cable, mints, a plastic gem and some "real" money.

maybye something to do with the names of the items or something? a hidden "pleaseaddthisfeature" perhaps?

Hah, cool. I just bought a 100 trillion dollar note myself for a keepsake. Less than $8 shipped.  :D

Hmm, having a lark based upon the hyperinflation of a country's currency and therefore the suffering of its people... well, yeah, pretty much.

You are becoming more dwarven by the second, all you need now is a sock fetish and an alcohol problem.

Well when you lose your job, have everyone you ever loved leave because your abusive, and suffer an early death because your Liver fell off... Then it has become a problem.

Ohhh... wait... it is a Dwarf joke isn't it? Well I don't know... do you REALLY want to be like Dwarves? I am kinda against emulating suicidal artists.
